this is a great book for java programmers.....all the topics are covered to the deepest!
language of the book is a bit tough to understand....but if you get it there is no book which is better than this one for core Java....if u dont get the language i would suggest u buy "SCJP-kathy sierra" or "OCJP-kathy sierra"
Code Hard!!!

I finished this book and end up being totally confused. Then I got a chance to finish the SCJP book by Kathy Sierra bates. Then I thought why the hell I wasted my time in reading this book by Khalid mughal.

I strongly recommend the book by Kathy as that is the best book to master core java fundamentals. And that is read by most serious Java programmers as well

The purpose of the SJCP/OCPJP exam: The main purpose of this exam is for new and experienced Java programmers to gain knowledge of or to review 'the building blocks' of the Java programming language. The exam puts the experienced programmer to work on subtle aspects of the language, in a way, exposing tools that are very useful but have been forgotten or not been used for long, due to various reasons.

The reason Khalid Mughal wrote this book: The author has attempted the impossible, to make ...

Its an awsome book if you want to learn J2SE. All the concepts are explained through examples so it becomes easier to grasp the concept. All the topics relevant to SCJP certification are covered so one need not worry. ADDITIONALLY information concerning the SCJP exam is also provided. ALL IN ALL its a great book

This is a very good read for an intermediate level. The concepts are explained in depth and the tricky tests for each section ensures that you are clear about the concept. Need focused time to read each chapter. Revise it now and then and one can be super confident about Java.

This is the best book worth to have in the bag for all who loves Java as a programming language and want to excel in the IT fields. Best for interview point of view.

The book is outstanding. As a beginner it is good enough.
Still, I would say going through this book after finishing head first java will be best.
This book though doesn't include any cartoons but yes, concepts are explained crystal clearly and in proper sequence. Just keep reading. But yes, you should not start with this book a day or two before your interview or exam. :)

Great Book!!!

You will not miss any minute details about java. Good for SCJP. But you need to aware of all concept very well before reading this book.
It has practice questions.
